Jerome Gambit Declined: Tidying Up



Looking over the recent post, "Jerome Gambit: Declined",  it seems a bit of a mess.

I am not sure how or why I got there. I know, I know, I can blame it on Stockfish, but still...

Let me say a few things - and then leave it alone.

The Database has 17 games that go 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kf8 5.b4. White scores 11 - 6 - 0.

It has 11 games from the Evans Gambit Accepted line of play: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.Bxf7+ Kf8. White scores 8 - 2 - 1

It has 7 games from the Evans Gambit Declined line of play: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bb6 5.Bxf7+ Kf8  White scores 2 - 5- 0

And that should be that.
